Abstract:
Halfway through the 10-Year Action Plan to End and Prevent Homelessness, the size of the homelessness problem and the lack of affordable housing has grown in Wake County. More low-wage workers are moving into the county and more people with mental illness need help. There is also a lack of leadership and a lack of communication of the problem. Due to these issues and the lack of a centralized and round-the-clock intake system for homeless people, the state was unable to claim 409,000 dollars available for housing.
